A new holographic storage technique uses light in three dimensions to dramatically increase how much data can be stored. It encodes information throughout a material using amplitude, phase, and ...

Scientists have created a microscopic QR code so tiny it can only be seen with an electron microscope—smaller than most bacteria and now officially a world record. But this isn’t just about size; it’s ...

For decades, astronomers have been puzzled by strange “zebra stripe” patterns in radio waves from the Crab Pulsar — bright bands separated by complete darkness. Now, new research suggests the answer ...

Scientists have developed a breakthrough “superfood” for honeybees by engineering yeast to produce the essential nutrients normally found in pollen. In controlled trials, colonies fed this specially ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising way to study the harsh space weather around young M dwarf stars. Mysterious dips in ...

By closely monitoring fish throughout their lives, researchers found that simple behaviors in midlife—like movement and sleep ...

A new solar breakthrough may overcome a long-standing efficiency barrier. Researchers used a “spin-flip” metal complex to capture and multiply energy from sunlight through singlet fission. The result ...

Species are vanishing faster than ever, and many are disappearing before scientists even know they exist. Now, an ...

Snow flies have an unexpected way of surviving freezing temperatures. They produce antifreeze proteins to block ice formation ...

Gut bacteria aren’t just passive passengers—they can actively send proteins straight into our cells. Using microscopic injection systems, even harmless microbes can influence immune responses and ...

Having both excess belly fat and low muscle mass isn’t just unhealthy—it’s potentially deadly, raising the risk of death by ...

A new prototype could supercharge mass spectrometry by analyzing thousands of molecules at once instead of one by one. The ...
